Mount them externally to the tiles. Use stainless or nickel plated piping. When she then moans, tell her that you told her :)

I don't have that problem. You're more likely to find Ms peterws cleaning car parts on the table than me.

I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been married for almost 35 years and Swmbo is still as much of a mystery now, as the day we met.

IF women understood us AND our car obsession it would spoil the whole thing AND we would have to find something else to pour our spare cash into !!

She has but they're all spoken for . Her adult daughter is similarly inclined but you've just missed the boat there unfortunately.

I live in an ex pub and put my lotus, minus the body shell in what was the lounge bar for a complete rebuild.. was a nice cosy place to work. Also dragged a 45ft long yacht mast through the window, across the bar and along the passage way to do some work on it !
